Double Template # 6

What a week! It feels like it should be Friday night already and we're only half way there. Well a little better then half way. (hehe)

First off the little one has not taken a nap in a week and a half and Monday was not her day. Just looking at her would send her off in a tantrum. Then to top the day off when I was putting the finishing touches on the 5pk of landscape templates (one of the prizes for the drawing) I discovered they were all the wrong size!!! Instead of 8.5 x 11 I made them all 8 x 11.5! So I proceeded to investigate the others that I have waiting to be posted here and discovered that all the new ones were the same way! For a total of 17 landscape templates that needed to be fixed! Ack!!

Tuesday I spent making banana bread with the youngster and fixing templates. I am happy to say that they're all fixed!

Today was a much better day. The little one napped! The good and the bad is that she napped on my lap while I sat at the computer. Sorry to say my computer chair is not made to sit in for that long in one position. Both my legs were asleep and my butt was numb but I enjoyed every moment of her laying across my lap. Her blanky was her pillow against the hard arm rest. And while she napped I made a new kit. I deviated a bit and made a hockey one. You will have to wait till Friday September 5Th to download it. I made it in honer of my nephew who will be 21 on the 5Th.

Speaking of sports and kits... Yes I will take requests however I will make no guarantee as to when they/it will be posted or in what order.

The poll about template sizes closed a few days ago. This is what I have decided.

I will continue to make them all, with a few small changes.

Landscape templates will be a bit more often. Also if you have a favorite 12 x 12 template of mine that you would like me to convert to a landscape, please let me know and I will get them posted as they come in. these may not be perfect but they will be very close.

Double templates will also be seen a bit more often. All of my double templates come in two files side a and side b. These can also be used as stand alone 12 x 12's (most of them).

12 x 12 will still be available just maybe not as often.

Now I feel like I have blabbed long enough but before we get to the freebie, Please remember to leave a comment and enter the drawing here are the rules:

Landscape Template # 8

Been a busy couple of days around here. Grocery shopping , errands, and laundry yesterday. Started some early fall cleaning today, and after the kids got out of school we headed over to great grandpa's to visit and harvest some tomatoes.

Tomorrow I have another dentist appointment. And I have to take the cat to the vet. She hasn't been feeling well the last week or so and as far as I can tell she hasn't eaten anything in 4-5 days and she is always at the water dish. She's strictly a house cat and has been spayed. I just hope it's nothing really bad, but the constant drinking makes me worry about liver or kidney issues.

And now since it's been awhile I figured I had better give you all another Landscape Template!

Template # 111

Oh this week is flying by!

Tuesday am both the oldest and I had dental appointments. The appointments were for 9:45(me) and 10:30 and we were there for 3 hours. I only took about 45 min but the oldest had to sit for a little over 2 hours in "the chair". She is getting the Invisalign braces and from what I understand the molds that the dentist make have to be perfect to a T. After 10 trys top and bottom they finally got them right.

After that we came home had a late lunch, did dishes and a load of laundry and it was time to take the boy to his 3rd grade orientation.

His orientation, I'm sorry to say was a joke.

First off the school does not have near enough parking for the teachers yet alone enough to have the entire school in at one time for orientation. We parked about three quarters of a mile away and walked. we stood in line for about 15 min to find out what classroom he had been assigned. after that we found the classroom and waited our turn in line to see the teacher. When it was our turn she handed me 4 papers and told him to find a desk that fit him and write his name on the sticky note on the desk. The papers included. supply list, classroom rules, a very brief summery of the class, and his emergency contact card. She told me to look over the card sign it and hand it in at the office and she was off to the next parent. No chance to ask questions or anything.

This morning was spent making a couple of templates. Then we all piled in the van and took the oldest to her freshman "Charge Day" that started at 2. After dropping her off we headed to Great Grandpa's house to hang out. Came home made dinner and I went back for the Parent Student Teacher part of"Charge Day" at 6.

I think the oldest and I connected in some way tonight. We were comparing notes about what her high school is like and what mine was like ectera. During the course of our chat (Lunch Period) she brought up the fact that her high school is 18 years old. Which I said wow has it been that long! As it happens I was in the class that not only choose the school name but also the mascot. It was one of those things that make you feel instantly old for a bit. She laughed and then I laughed and all in all it was a fun night. I enjoyed roaming the halls of a high school again, but it also made me appreciate just how much I'm glad to be done with school.

Now since you have hung in there so long you will get not one, but 2 Templates!

But first here is my layout using Template # 111

Two New Templates

What a crazy weekend!
For having nothing planned but to relax and hang out with the kids it sure turned itself upside down and kept us on the go! I always thought the weeks were the busy part of life but nope it's the weekends. I hated working 40+ hours a week and trying to cram the weekends with all the family things, outings, shopping, ectera. But as time goes by I realize that even thou I'm home with them all the time now, we still cram all we can into the weekends.

OK on to the freebie's!

We have 2 tonight!

Template #107

Hi All! Long time no post! hehe

We are finally back from our trip and the time that we have been home has been very busy! We got back Tuesday about noon and then at 2pm we had to go to freshman orientation.

Wednesday we ran errands, payed bills and shopped for groceries. Thursday we finally got to do the laundry, Oh the piles!

And now we finally get to today. I just got back from yet another trip to the dentist. I thought I was having two root canals done but as she got to drilling she told me that we would be able to do just fillings. Yes! turned out to be a pleasant trip to the dentist.

Next Tuesday the oldest and I both go in. I will have the few natural teeth I have left cleaned. And we will sit down and discuss the coarse of action with our oldest braces and when to do them.

Next week looks to be a busy one two with all of our school shopping to do. We Also have two more orientations to go to.

But enough, lets get to today's freebie!
